Google Maps API key missing error

Suggest Edits

The Google Maps APIs require an API key for new domains as of June 2016.

Because of this change you might be getting errors such as:

Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError

See announcement: http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/building-for-scale-updates-to-google.html

To fix this:

  1. Create an API key as per instructions here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

  2. Edit the line in the plugin that loads the Google Maps API to include your key as the value of a 'key' parameter.

Wherever you find "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js" or "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js" in the plugin, change it to "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/**js?key=YOUR\\_API\\_KEY**".
